Juicing With Art has had the pleasure to begin the project in the northwest sector of Haiti and have captured nearly 200 family portraits. None of these families have family portraits. The families’ excitement of this project has sparked ideas from the participants on ways they can improve their towns. This project is a unique form of community building instilling pride in country, family and self.
